Remember when dashboards used to be simple?
A lot of people don’t tend to think about their dashboards since the car they’ve been driving for a while is well known to them, right? You’ve seen one dashboard, you’ve seen them all, yeah? Okay, hold onto that thought.
Welcome aboard, try to figure out what’s going on.
Do you fancy a trip back in time?
Who designs these things?
Sometimes it feel as though the designers do too much.
